## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Outstanding school - exceeded our expectations!: We were nervous about moving to a new area and finding a good school, but Eastborough Academy has exceeded all our expectations. The teachers are dedicated and passionate, and the curriculum is engaging and challenging. We're so proud of our daughter's progress and would highly recommend the school. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school - can't fault it!: My son has been at Eastborough Academy for two years and I've seen a huge improvement in his confidence and academic abilities. The staff are always approachable and the facilities are excellent. We love the 'Be the best you can be' motto and the emphasis on kindness and respect. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good school, but could be improved: We moved our son to Eastborough Academy two years ago, and while the school has its positives - such as the facilities and the emphasis on kindness and respect - we've experienced some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The curriculum is okay, but could be more engaging for some children. *(Jun 2022)*
